Abstract

Recent synthetic advances have given convenient access to tetrabenzotriazaporphyrins (TBTAPs) functionalised with meso-aryl substituents. In this paper we report the first examples of further functionalization of the meso-sites through Suzuki-Miyaura and copper-free Sonagashira cross-coupling reactions of the meso-(bromophenyl)TBTAPs, demonstrating the breadth of new materials design now possible in the hybrid macrocycles.
